I know someone who grows Fascicularia at the base of a hawthorn hedge. Mine grew for many years in a pot before gowing to another garden to get it's feet in to the ground

This is a small
Lobelia
species originally from Tsitsikamma, South Africa which behaves as an annual here, but fortunately seeds around and reappeares in spring.

Arthur,
I agree fully with Gerd. Very lovely.
I failed in the past in pleasing them in my loamy garden soil.
In autuum I purchased a mix bag of them and put them in the sandbed for a last trial.
They developped lots of foliage quite quickly. I'm happy and I keep my fingers crossed they will survive winter...

Hi All. I know it is not for a 'Rock Garden' but
Dahlia imperialis
this year flowered well and a lot. Thanks to the warm autumn without frost untill now even if wet (rain for a week completely), this year I can enjoy it. It growed 6 m tall but the winds in the middle of October break the stems at about half. Dozens of flowers open their buds just in these days.

Alberto,
Congratulations. They are a rather spectacular plant aren't they? The other one to look out for is
Dahlia excelsa
, which is of almost similar size, but flowers about 2 months earlier here, so you always get flowers from it unlike the
imperialis.
Great stuff!!

Thanks for that tip Paul as I hardly ever see flowers on
Dahlia imperialis
I will look out for
Dahlia excelsa
and try my luck.

Brian,
I can send you some canes at the end of our growing season if you'd like? Only reshot in the last month or so unfortunately, so it would be next June before they'd be dormant again? Can you bring plants straight in without quarantine etc? I think it is clear for the UK isn't it, although I had heard that is starting to change?

Great pics! I love that Dahlia. I wonder how big the tubers can grow to nourish such tall stems...
